Viewing existing test scripts in a project

With IBM® Rational® Quality Manager, you can easily create a list of the existing test scripts in a project. If you have large projects with hundreds or thousands of test scripts, you can use the product's filtering capabilities to greatly reduce the number of test scripts in the view and help you locate the desired test scripts more quickly.

To view the existing test scripts in a project:

  1. From the left sidebar, point to the Construction icon and click View Test Scripts.

    The View Test Scripts window opens.

    The top portion of the window contains the View Builder editor, which lets you create a customized filter.

    The bottom portion of the window contains the search results.

    Note: Unlike Rational Quality Manager v1.0, no test scripts are displayed until you run the search.
  2. In the View Builder, do one of the following:
    • Select My test scripts only to limit the search to your own test scripts.
      Note: My test scripts only will limit the search to those test scripts that you created yourself or to test scripts to which you have been assigned a work item.
    • Deselect My test scripts only to expand the search to all users' test scripts.
  3. In the Name field, type any portion of a test script name, for example, login, to limit the search to test scripts that contain that text in the name.
  4. In the Originator field, click the down arrow and select one or more test script originators from the list.
    Note: An originator is the user that created the test script.
  5. In the State field, click the down arrow and select one or more states from the list to limit the search to those test scripts that are in any of the selected states.
  6. In the Script Type field, click the down arrow and select one or more script types.
  7. Click Run to run the search.

    The search results are displayed in the form of a table in the bottom portion of the View Test scripts window.

  8. After you run the search, there are further actions you can take to modify the results.
    • Click the Type Filter Text field (Type Filter Text) at the upper, right-hand corner of the search results section to limit the results to those test scripts that contain the text that you type.
    • In the Group by field, click the down arrow and make a selection to sort the results by one of the available categories.
    • Click the Change Display Settings (Change Display Settings icon to change the columns that are displayed in the search results or to change the width of each column.
    • Select a test script and click the (Remove) icon to delete the test script from the list.
